I've never done buffets in Vegas until this year, and I visited two this year. In comparison to MGM's buffet, Monte Carlo is a steal (about half the price). Additionally, the food selection is much better. No, Monte Carlo didn't have crab legs, but that was perfectly fine because they has so much other really good stuff that I didn't need crab legs. Their Asian fare was very good as was their seafood selection. The buffet has a lot of different food choices, and you shouldn't leave hungry. The desserts selection and the desserts themselves weren't great, but I can't rave enough about the quality of the food, the cleanliness of the buffet, and the helpfulness of the employees. I'm sold on this buffet as a choice for future visits.
